ٳṣcٳٲ (दुष्चित्�) refers to “evil intention�, according to Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter 41).—Accordingly, “[Digression on a case brought against the Buddha; B. The defense].—[4. Insults to the Disciples].—The Buddha had hard words for the Bhikṣus and treated them like fools (dz󲹱ܰṣa). There are two kinds of hard words: i) insult coming from an evil intention (ṣcٳٲ); ii) insult out of compassion for beings and with the intention of converting them (貹峦Բ).
